Sacramento almost did the job early, but couldn't close out their 3 p.m. matchup against the visiting Mavericks, who won 93-91.

But San Antonio, which has the NBA's best record, took control early against the Grizzlies. The Spurs, who saw their 19-game winning streak end at the hands of Oklahoma City on Thursday, played all of their core players Sunday, including Manu Ginobili, who sat out the game against the Thunder despite not having a listed injury.
